Who is Zohran Mamdani’s wife?
Zohran Mamdani and Rama Duwaji: A Modern Love Story in City Hall
They met on Hinge in 2021—coffee at a Yemeni café, a walk through McCarren Park,
and a spark that grew into purpose. By October 2024, Zohran Mamdani proposed,
and Rama Duwaji wrote she “couldn’t be prouder.”
They celebrated their engagement and nikah in Dubai,
then married quietly at New York’s City Clerk’s Office.
A viral subway photo showed Rama in a white dress and boots, bouquet in hand.
When critics targeted her online, Mamdani defended her as “an incredible artist who deserves to be known on her own terms.”
Born in Houston and raised in Dubai, Rama’s art explores identity, womanhood, and Palestinian solidarity.
Her creative vision shaped Mamdani’s campaign, reflecting the city’s vibrancy.
Now New York’s first Gen Z First Lady, she brings art and authenticity to City Hall—
a love story built on purpose and partnership.
